Luo Xingmu said: "Although the three of us cooperate, their purposes are different. I am trying to make money. Fang Kewen is a noble family with a wealthy family. They are not short of money. What they lack is just rare things. The reason why he decided to cooperate with us is to find thrilling. Although the antiques found are of some value, they are not yet visible to him. As for Ma Boxuan, he is a nerd who never strikes against the wall and does not look back. He is devoted to academic research and must do what he determines.

The next adventure was not so smooth. We found several ancient tombs, almost all of which were stolen, and we did not find the legendary Yu Shen Monument. First of all, Fang Kewen lost his patience, and his family background did not allow him to devote his time to endless adventures, not to mention that our efforts and gains were obviously not proportional. I don’t want to continue. I am a little rich man, and the Ming weapon I found was enough for me to spend a while after I sold it. I never thought about robbing the tomb. Although we call it an archaeological expedition, we actually took what we found for ourselves. Although Ma Boxuan did not agree with our practice, he could only pretend to turn a blind eye to find the Yu Shen Monument."

He gasped and said, "So there was a disagreement between us. Fang Kewen and I proposed to temporarily end the expedition and wait for adjustment to consider the expedition for a while. However, Ma Boxuan insisted on continuing, regardless of the extremely bad weather at that time. If we continue to persist, it may even endanger our lives.

After a fierce quarrel, Ma Boxuan chose to leave the camp alone in the middle of the night. After Fang Kewen and I noticed it, we followed our footprints to chase him, and soon lost the road. The disaster never came alone. We were attacked by bandits in the mountains and forests. We both fled desperately and had to jump off the cliff. But when we found that Ma Boxuan was not far away. He was also lost in the wind and snow and came here by accident. We suddenly found that the place we are now is almost exactly the same as the one drawn on the map. Although it was covered by heavy snow, we could still see that it was an excellent place to hide wind and gather energy. According to the guide of the map, we found the entrance to a large tomb. Ma Boxuan said that this was a large tomb of Jin Dynasty. We were all very excited and found the thieves left without much effort...."

Speaking of this, Luo Xingmu stopped again, and an extremely terrifying expression appeared on his old face, and his breathing began to become heavy. He obviously did not want to continue to recall, so he shook his head and said, "Let's stop talking. After that, Fang Kewen disappeared for no reason. Ma Boxuan and I escaped from it after going through a lot of hardships, but he went crazy in the middle of the way. After I came back, I was seriously ill, and then he aged at an astonishing speed. I am only forty years old this year. In just five years, I have become what I am now. Do you think I am now like an old man in my seventies or eighties?"

Luo Lie nodded. This was indeed true. Although he was full of curiosity, he did not ask. Luo Xingmu must have experienced extremely strange things in that tomb, otherwise he would not have had such an amazing change.

Luo Xingmu said: "After I found out that I was getting old quickly, I went to Peking again. One to visit Ma Boxuan's condition, and the other to see if he had become like me. When I got there, I realized that Ma Boxuan had been sent to Japan for treatment by his family, but when I arrived in Japan, I had broken contact with the country. I grew old day by day. I have been looking for famous doctors all over the years, but everyone was helpless about my condition."

Luo Xingmu stared at Luo Lie's eyes and said, "Maybe you want to ask me what happened in that tomb?" He shook his head and said, "I don't remember, I don't remember at all. I just remember the three of us entering the ancient tomb. What happened? How did we leave? I don't remember. Since I came back, I have the same dream every night."

"What dream?"

"A coffin!"

Luo Lie frowned. Luo Xingmu himself opened a coffin shop. It was not unusual for him to dream of a coffin. In fact, from the perspective of dream interpretation, dreaming of a coffin is a good sign, and it is a good thing to be promoted and wealthy.

Luo Xingmudao: "A huge bronze coffin is suspended vertically in the air. There is no connection to anything around, and there is no support, and it slowly rotates in the void."

Few people know that Luo Lie actually took the psychology major in the United States. He has profound attainments in psychology and has also written academic articles on the connection between human dreams and thinking. It is not unfounded to think about things every day and night. The reason why Luo Xingmu had such dreams was related to the profession he was engaged in.

Luo Xingmu said: "It's been five years. Apart from insomnia, I have been having the same dream every day, exactly the same, and never changed."

Luo Lie said: "Maybe you are too nervous, maybe it's because you live here alone for a long time. You might as well try going out for a walk and relax." In fact, he himself is also troubled by insomnia. Is this family inheritance?

Luo Xingmu said: "I even doubt that I have never entered that ancient tomb, otherwise why would I have no impression of it? After we escaped from that ancient tomb, my map was gone. Last spring, I tried to find the ancient tomb based on my past impressions. I even found the camp where we lived and picked up the lost items back then, but no matter what, I couldn't find the location of the ancient tomb."

Luo Lie said: "People will have illusions in many harsh environments. Perhaps your mind was not in a completely awake state back then."

Luo Xingmu shook his head: "I know, something terrible must have happened..." He bit his lip, and finally made up his mind to stand up, take off his clothes, stand in front of Luo Lie naked, and then slowly turn his back.

With the dim light of the oil lamp, Luo Lie saw that there were four shocking words engraved behind Luo Xingmu - those who are good at entering the country died! These four words were all written in Xiawen, and should have been carved into Luo Xingmu's flesh with a knife.

Luo Xingmu said: "After Ma Boxuan went crazy, he repeated a sentence over and over again. He said we still have five years of life. I have calculated that there are more than twenty days left for Fang Kewen to disappear for five years, which means..." He did not finish his words, but he had already expressed his meaning very clearly. His life should be less than a month left.

Luo Lie looked at Luo Xingmu in front of him, and his heart was full of sympathy. Although he was skeptical about what Luo Xingmu said, he should not live long after seeing Luo Xingmu's aging appearance. He picked up the sheepskin coat on the table to help Luo Xingmu put it on his body.

Luo Xingmu said: "I went to visit the old man's grave during Qingming Festival this year. I accidentally heard about you. I didn't expect that our Luo family still has descendants. After thinking about it, I finally decided to write a letter to you, hoping that if I could meet you alive, I would also let you know that you have such an incompetent uncle. When our Luo family renews the family tree in the future, I will add my name if possible."

Luo Lie nodded. Although the Qing Dynasty destroyed the country, the clan concept was still deeply rooted in people's hearts. Even though Luo Xingmu was abandoned by his family since childhood, he still hoped to return to the family tree in his heart.

Luo Xingmu got up and walked into the room on the east side. After a while, he walked out with a wooden box and opened it and said, "I have nothing to give you. There are two deeds here, one is this coffin shop, which is originally from the Hu family, and it should be inherited by you. There is also a house in Ma Boxuan in Peking. He mortgaged it to me as a condition. I have no relatives in this world, so I should regard it as a gift I give you."

"What is this?" Luo Lie took out a roll of jade slips from it. Just from the color of the jade, you can see that the age of the jade slips is the longest. What really attracts Luo Lie is the words on the jade slips, including Xiawen, oracle bones, small seal scripts, and Han Li. Although Luo Lie has also seen many calligraphy works, he has never seen a hodgepodge of fonts of different eras styles mixed together.

Luo Xingmu said: "I also found it in the secret room left by the old man after I came back. This thing is a bit special. The jade slip should be from the Han Dynasty, but the words on it were obviously engraved later. However, when I saw that there was a Xia text on it, I recalled the lost map, which may be an important thing. Unfortunately, Ma Boxuan is already crazy. There may be no one in the world who can decipher the meaning of it." He didn't know that Luo Lie in front of him had been following the old man since he was a child to learn the inscription of Dayu inscriptions, and his understanding in this regard was far better than Ma Boxuan.

Luo Lie said: "Then I will keep it for you first."

Luo Xingmu smiled and said, "What's the matter with me? After I die, you will be the only seedling of the Luo family, that is, the only heir. This thing should be yours, so leave a memory."

Luo Lie nodded. At this time, he heard a rapid knocking sound from outside, but the blind man was still trapped under the coffin.

Luo Xingmu said: "I will leave here tomorrow. If you don't care about the bad luck, stay here."

Luo Lie said: "Have you ever seen a Western medicine doctor? Why don't you go to Huangpu? I will introduce the doctors in the French Concession to help you see?"

Luo Xingmu shook his head and said, "Forget it, I accept my fate. I shouldn't have come to this world, boy! Although this is the first time we met, I can see that you are an outstanding young man, otherwise I wouldn't have talked to you so much." He came to Luo Lie, patted his shoulder and said, "Go, that kid stayed under the coffin for a long time. After a while, he would have to freeze to death if he didn't suffocate."
